Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for eliminating water from the surface of an article by immersion in a liquid composition not miscible with water and also to apparatus for carrying out this operation.
- lt is known that it is possible to eliminate water from the surface of an article using a process which consists of immersing the article successively in a bath (A) for elimination of water maintained at boiling point comprising a liquid composition which is not miscible with water, then in a rinsing bath (B) also maintained at boiling point, consisting ofa solvent which is a constituent of the liquid composition in bath A, to pass the vapors consisting essentially of solvent leaving baths A and B and condensing said vapors, eliminating water which may be contained in the condensate, passing the condensed solvent into the bath B, passing the excess of solvent from bath B into the bath A and recycling to the bath A excess of liquid from bath A after removal of water therefrom.
- the process is intended to avoid or reduce these disadvantages and is intended to achieve improved or perfect rinsing, whatever the shape of the articles to be treated and the rate of passage of the articles through the rinsing baths.
- a process for removing water from the surface of an article in which said article is immersed successively (i) in a bath A for removal of water, maintained at boiling point, consisting of a liquid drying composition which is not miscible with water and which comprises a solvent, (ii) in a rinsing bath B, also maintained at boiling point, consisting of said solvent, (iii) in a rinsing bath C consisting of said solvent maintained at a temperature appreciably less than its boiling point, and (iv) in the vapor emitted by a bath D consisting of said solvent maintained at boiling point, the following operations being carried out continuously:
- the vapors leaving baths A and B and the vapors leaving bath C are separately condensed, any water contained in the condensate is removed, the condensed solvent is passed into the bath C, excess solvent from bath C is passed into bath B, excess solvent in bath 8 is passed into bath A and the excess of liquid from said bath A is recycled into bath A after elimination of water therefrom;
- the required difference between the temperature of bath C and the boiling point of the solvent may vary ac cording to the nature of the solvent used.
- the difference is generally at least 10C.
- the required duration of the immersion of the articles in each of the baths A, B or C depends on numerous factors, such as configuration of the surface of the articles, the drying composition used, and the regeneration capacity of the bath. It generally varies from 1 to 3 minutes.
- the duration of the immersion in the vapor issuing from bath D is generally from 15 to 30 seconds.
- apparatus for removing water from the surface of an article comprises a tank for removing water containing the bath A and comprising means for heating the liquid composition, at least one decantation tank for removing water from the composition, and a recycling circuit for the liquid composition connecting the decantation tank to the tank for the elimination of water.
- the apparatus also comprises three tanks for rinsing containing respectively the baths B, C and D.
- the first rinsing tank containing the bath B, comprises means for heating the liquid and is arranged in the neighborhood of the tank for removing water.
- the space above the water-removing tank and the first rinsing tank is surrounded by walls, the upper part of the walls being surrounded by a condenser.
- Means are provided for passing the liquid leaving the first rinsing tank into the water-removing tank as well as means for passing the liquid leaving the water-removing tank into the decantation tank.
- the space above the second rinsing tank containing bath C, is surrounded by walls, the upper parts of the walls being surrounded by a condenser. Means are provided for passing the liquid from the second rinsing tank into the first rinsing tank.
- the third rinsing tank containing the bath D, comprises heating means for the liquid therein.
- the space situated above the third rinsing tank is surrounded by walls, the upper parts of the walls being surrounded by a condenser. Means are provided for eliminating any water contained in the condensate and means for passing the condensed solvent into the bath D.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic elevational view of the apparatus
- FIG. 2 is a view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 from above;
- FIG. 3 is a section of a phase separator, for use in the apparatus of FIG. 1, to eliminate any water contained in the condensates obtained by condensation of the vapors leaving respectively the space situated above the tank for elimination of water and the first rinsing tank and from the space situated above the second rinsing tank; and
- FIG. 4 is a section of a phase separator for use in the apparatus of FIG. 1 to eliminate any water contained in the condensate obtained by condensation of vapor leaving the space situated above the third rinsing tank.
- the bath A contained in the tank 1, is maintained at boiling point by means of the heating apparatus 3 which may be an electric heater.
- the boiling allows efficient agitation of the bath which favors the mechanical elimination of water from the surfaces to be treated.
- the bath B contained in the tank 2, is maintained at boiling point by means of a heating device 4 which may be an electric heater.
- the agitation of baths A and B may be reinforced by the use of known devices, preferably ultrasonic.
- the vapor emitted from tanks 1 and 2 rises towards the space 5 situated above said tanks which is surrounded by the wall 6 and is condensed by the coils 7 in which circulates a cold fluid, such as water.
- the coils 7 are fixed on the upper parts of the wall 6.
- the vapor leaving the tank 8, containing the bath C advantageously agitated by means of ultrasonic devices, risesin the space 9 situated above said tank and surrounded by the walls 10 and is condensed by the coils 11 in which circulates a cold fluid, such as water.
- the coils 11 are fixed on the upper parts of the walls 10.
- the condensates obtained by condensation of vapor rising respectively in spaces 5 and 9 are recovered in the duct 12 and flow through the duct 13 into the water separator 14 composed of a tank internally divided by two partitions 15 and 16 (see FIG. 3) into three compartments 17, 18 and 19 which communicate with each other only at their lower part.
- the water separator 14 further comprises an inlet 20 for solvent/water mixture, an outlet 21 for water, an outlet 22 for solvent, a cooling jacket 23 through which a cold fluid, such as water, passes, and a draining valve 24.
- the water separator 14 has as its object elimination of water which may be contained in the condensate and which may be derived either from atmospheric humidity or from water introduced with the articles into the tank 1 and which may be entrained with the solvent in the space 5 during boiling of bath A.
- the condensate obtained by condensation of vapor rising in the space 5 may be present in the form of a microsuspension of droplets of water in the solvent which renders difficult the elimination of water in the separator 14 in a time short enough to be compatible with efficient functioning of the apparatus. It is therefore advantageous to destroy the micro-suspension before introduction of the condensate into the separator 14, by continuously passing said boiling condensate through a vessel, for example, provided with a heating device and surmounted by a system for condensation of vapor.
- the water/solvent mixture arriving by the duct 13 enters the separator 14 through the inlet 20 and becomes separated into its constituents by decantation in the first compartment 17 of the separator 14.
- compartment 18 The greatest part of the water, which is separated, is found in compartment 18 and is eliminated by the outlet 21. By gravity the solvent passes only into compartment 19 and returns to tank 8 through the outlet 22, the duct 25, and the inlet 26.
- a deflector 28 prevents passage of vapor containing moisture from the space 5 into the space 9.
- the tank 1 is fed continuously with the drying composition by means of the pump 30 through the conduit 31 and the inlet 32 positioned in such a manner as to introduce said composition in the middle of the bath contained in the tank 1.
- the excess of liquid in the tank 1 overflows continuously into the decantation tank 33 through a duct 34 formed by a simple channel.
- the vapor rising in the space 5 is retained by the deflector 35.
- the water eliminated in the tank 1 condenses into droplets which rapidly form, owing to agitation of the liquid bath, to form an aqueous layer which is easy to decant into the decantation tank 33.
- the decantation tank 33 is internally divided into two compartments 36 and 37 by the partition 38 which rises to a level slightly higher than the bottom of deflector 35.
- the water decanted in the upper part of the bath contained in the decantation tank 33 is eliminated through the orifice 39.
- composition is recycled to the tank 1 by means of pump 30 through the outlet 40 and the conduit 41.
- the bath D contained in the tank 42, is maintained at boiling point by means of a heating device 43, for example an electric heater.
- a heating device 43 for example an electric heater.
- the vapors produced in tank 42 rise into the space 44 situated above said tank and surrounded by the walls 45 and are condensed by the coils 46 in which circulate a cold fluid, such as water.
- the coils 46 are fixed to the upper parts of the walls 45.
- the condensate obtained by condensation of the vapors rising in the space 44 is recovered in the channel 47 and flows through the duct 48 into a water separator 49 similar to separator 14 composed of a tank divided internally by the two partitions 50 and 51 (see FIG. 4) into three compartments 52, 53 and 54 which only communicate with each other at their lower parts.
- the water separator 49 comprises an inlet 55 for the water/solvent mixture, an outlet 56 for water, an outlet 57 for solvent, a cooling jacket 58 in which circulates a cold fluid, such as water, and a draining valve 59.
- the water separator 49 has as its object the elimination of water which may be found in the condensate and which is obtained from atmospheric humidity.
- the water/solvent mixture arriving through the duct 48, enters the separator 49 through the inlet 55 and separates into its constituents by decantation in the first compartment 52 of the separator 49.
- the apparatus is completed by the emptying valve 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67 and 68.
- the tank 8 is filled with pure solvent such that the bath thus constituted extends to the upper part of the partition 27.
- the tank 2 is filled with pure solvent in such a manner that the bath thus formed extends to the upper part of the device 29 when it is heated to boiling.
- the compartments 17, 18 and 19 of the water separator 14 are filled with pure solvent until the solvent reaches the outlet 22.
- the tank 1 is filled with the drying composition in such a manner that the bath thus formed extends to the upper part of the duct 34 when it is heated to boiling.
- the compartments 36 and 37 of the decantation tank 33 are filled in the same way the compartments 36 and 37 of the decantation tank 33 with the drying composition to a level which is slightly higher than the upper level of the partition 38.
- the composition contained in the decantation bath 33 is covered with a layer of water such that its upper level extends to the orifice 39.
- the tank 42 is filled with pure solvent.
- the compartments 52, 53 and 54 of the water separator 49 are filled with pure solvent until the solvent extends to the outlet 57.
- the heating devices 3, 4 and 43 are switched on as well as the cooling circuits 7, 11, 22, 46 and 57 and the pump 30.
- the equilibria of the levels is adjusted by addition or removal of pure solvent.
- the heating capacity necessary is a function of the dimensions of the tanks and thus of the volume of the baths and of the heat capacity and temperature of the articles introduced and of the cooled liquid returned into the tanks 1, 2, 8 and 42.
- drying composition examples given below illustrate the invention applied to drying of printed electronic circuits. There is used as drying composition the compositions described in the copending application Ser. No. 413,607.
- 500 printed circuits are immersed for 3 minutes in the bath, for elimination of water, consisting of the drying composition maintained at boiling point.
